the number of comparisons)

4.

Implement Radix Sort

5.

Create a Red-Black Tree and perform following operations on it:

i.
Insert a node
ii. Delete a node
iii. Search for a number & also report the color of the
node containing this number.

6.
7.

Write a program to determine the LCS of two given sequences

Implement Breadth-First Search in a graph

8.

Implement Depth-First Search in a graph

9.

Write a program to determine the minimum spanning tree of a graph

For the algorithms at S.No 1 to 3 test run the algorithm on 100 different inputs of sizes varying
from 30 to 1000. Count the number of comparisons and draw the graph. Compare it with a
graph of nlogn.

For the algorithms at S.No 4 test run the algorithm on 100 different inputs of sizes
varying from 30 to 1000. Count the number of operations and draw the graph.

For plotting the above mentioned graphs, on x axis plot different values of n(input size)
and on y axis plot corresponding number of comparisons.
